The latest technique we are playing with is Pearly Mottled Paper from Julia Andrus' book Paper Transformed.
For this technique you need Cardstock, a spray bottle with water that sprays large drops, dye rainbow ink pad, brayer, paper towel and Perfect Pearls. See Carol's blog for step-by-step pictures of the technique.
I tried the first samples using coated paper, and I was not impressed with the effects. It looked a lot like the bleach technique and lot of the white cardstock showed through and did not pick up the perfect pearls.

I experimented again with white 130lb matte cardstock and this seemed to work much better, and look more like Julia's examples in her book.
This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it.
